real heinz ketchup here ! social hostel , right by the beach, pretty decent breakfast too. Some staff let this hostel down - random item appeared on the bill which cecelia and the tallest guy refused to remove and made a scene . the 5% card charge feels excessive .

J’ai réservé 3 nuits je ne suis restée qu’une seule. La chambre qu’on m’a donné était super bruyante, entre les corbeaux, les motos qui défilent la nuit et le générateur. Je n’ai pas fermé l’oeil. Ce n’était pas propre, car les maisons comme celles ci moisissent avec l’humidité, il y avait une très forte odeur. La moustiquaire était trouée, le matelas défoncé. Et pour couronner le tout, quand il s’est mit à pleuvoir à 5h30 du matin, la pluie tombait sur mon vi...

If you are looking to meet people in a warm and welcoming environment, this is the right place ! The bar / restaurant is great with great service and for Zanzibar cheap and really good This is not a fancy resort, but a backpackers place where everyone discusses between one another The rooms are clean. If you need anything you can ask the staff they are super friendly & helpful Finally the owner is a great host

Amazing hostel. I really enjoyed my stay and the staff was super nice and helpful. I loved the bar/outside/restaurant area. Only downside is that they didn’t have laundry services. Would definitely recommend this hostel over any other in paje

The staff were very kind and helpful, I felt very safe, and I met wonderful people. The hostel had a restaurant and a bar with amazing food and cocktails. They gave me contacts for activities in Zanzibar, arranged airport pickup and drop‑off. The whole hostel area had such a great vibe: sand, comfy seats, good music, hammocks, table tennis, darts, a beach volleyball court… I had an amazing time!

Staff was kind, atmosphere was good. But me and my 2 friends were staying in a 4 bed beach, hut, bungalow. We were out all day and came back to the hostel late in the evening to go to sleep. A few minutes after getting into bed, we find a few spiders and a cockroach inside the bed. We were supposed to stay in the hostel for a total of 2 nights. But we left immediatley and went to a hotel. The morning after we noticed many (!) mosquito looking bites on our legs, all thee of us. The next day, on o...

Lage und Atmosphäre sehr gut. Allerdings gibt es keine Saves im Raum und jeder hat Zugang zum Raum. Uns wurde Geld und Sachen aus unserem Raum geklaut während wir nur schnell etwas frühstücken bei der Hostel Bar waren.

Ein ganz tolles Hostel! Wir hatten hier eine ideale Hostel-Erfahrung mit guten Vibes und geselligen (Spiele-) Abenden. Wir haben von 3 auf 9 Nächte verlängert. Sehr freundliches Personal, das einem bei allem weiterhilft. Auch das Frühstück war lecker und es gab verschiedene Optionen zur Auswahl. Für 5,50-7€ gibt es auch leckere warme Gerichte, z.B. Vegetarian Curry oder Cheese Pasta. Strand ist nur 1-2 min zu Fuß entfernt. Alles transparent bzgl Preisen. Außerdem ist der Partymanager h...
